We don't have the hiface and mytek hardward to test, but please report us if the drivers works or not. In addition, we don't commit for long-term support of hiface and mytek drivers in future releases. (But hiface will be supported officially by Linux kernel 3.11 onward.)

Over the past few months, Voyage Linux community received various donations from different parties. After a busy month, it is a right time to announce these donations.

Kevin Li personally sponsored a BeagleBone Black board via cash donation for porting Voyage MuBox to this ARM platform. The work is now completed in Voyage MuBox project [1].

Squeeze-upgrade [2] donated two linear power supplies. Linear power supply is known to improve sound quality of streaming audio devices, D/A converters and mini-pcs. The donation is used to certify Squeeze-upgrade products on ALIX boards and other ARM-based platforms like CuBox, etc. Certification of Squeeze-upgrade's linear PSUs is underway. We will publish another certification report in a separate announcement.

SolidRun donated a CuBox-i [3] Carrier-1 development board to the community. Their donation enables us to start the porting work of upcoming CuBox-i products.

Last but not least, PC Engines [4] provided the community a free sample of the next-generation embedded PC board. This donation helps us porting Voyage Linux to this board well before full production run. At the time of this announcement, this board is now supported in the daily build.

Once again, we would like to express our gratitude to Kevin Li, Squeeze-upgrade, SolidRun and PC Engines for their generous donation.

Voyage MuBox is a porting of Voyage MPD on CuBox platform. CuBox is a tiny ARM embedded computer with less than 2 cubic inches in size, weight just 91 grams (0.2lb, 3.2oz), providing an ideal energy efficient CAS platform for streaming music to your DAC!

If you have a CuBox, please visit our new site, mubox.voyage.hk, for installation and getting started to playback music!

Last but not least, we thank SolidRun for their generous support to make this a success.

We are pleased to announced that SolidRun has donated a CuBox development unit to Voyage Linux community. Their donation enables us to explore the porting of Voyage Linux and MPD to CuBox platform.

At the time of writing this announcement, Voyage MPD has been successfully ported to CuBox platform with only 2-3 days effort. Although it is still in initial testing phase, we are now planning a new initiative on CuBox. Please stay tuned.

0.9.0 marks a major milestone in Voyage Linux. It only fixes minor issues discovered since 0.9-rc2 but we bring back official 64-bit release. Please test this long awaited release and report any problems and issues in our mailing list. Your support is crucial and encourages us to deliver Voyage Linux releases on regular basis in future.

Voyage MPD is based on Debian "Wheezy" 7.0 and Voyage Linux 0.9.0. This release updates MPD to 0.18 from git repository dated 2012-11-24, and fixes mpd hang issue when playing at the end of some DSD files.

This is the second release candidate of Voyage 0.9.0 that fixed a lot of issues reported by users. Like 0.9-rc1, this release does not include amd64 and SDK build. The next release, 0.9.0, will be based on Debian 7.0 "wheezy". It will be released about a week after official wheezy release.
